Offshore wind farm contracts to pre-date planning consent

The plans are part of a raft of reforms launched by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz) to help the Government reach its ambitious 2030 clean power targets.

Energy secretary Ed Miliband said changes to Contracts for Difference (CfD) rules will give developers "the certainty they need to build in Britain" and invest in more clean energy projects.

Auctions for the CfD scheme see developers bid to secure a fixed price contract for what they can charge for the renewable power they generate.
